The United States Congress established the Days of Remembrance as our nation’s annual commemoration of the Holocaust, held in April of each year. The Center for Diversity and Unity is responsible for planning the Days of Remembrance, and for encouraging and sponsoring appropriate observances throughout the campus. Campus partners include the Assistant to the President for Diversity and the Office of Affirmative Action and Equal Opportunity. Each year the CDU follows the theme set out by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in an effort to provide a consistent message that we will not forget.
